Fieldwork is an independent journal which believes in the power of ‘getting stuck in’.

Fieldwork is more of a scrapbook than a traditional journal: it documents architecture, landscape, and vernacular culture, through whatever medium is at hand. It is founded on the belief that understanding begins in the field: through observation and time spent in place.

The journal emerged from research into rural landscapes undergoing ecological and climatic change, and from a growing interest in the relationships between land, material, livelihood, and building. Rather than treating architecture as an object, Fieldwork approaches it as part of a wider cultural and environmental system.

Published between Aotearoa New Zealand and Northern Italy, Fieldwork gathers observations, essays, drawings, and conversations from working landscapes across both hemispheres. Each issue is a field report, dispatched from wherever the work takes its author.
